Class PerforceCharsets

java.lang.Object
  com.perforce.p4java.server.PerforceCharsets

public class PerforceCharsets
extends java.lang.Object

Encapsulates Perforce-wide charset information for servers.

Unfortunately, support for Unicode and associated charsets is somewhat server- and installation-dependent, and not easy to divine unless you're already talking to a Perforce server -- by which time it's too late. This class is an attempt to make it easier to cut that Gordian knot...

Note that the names below are not actually the standard name for the charset in some cases: e.g. UTF-8 should be "utf-8" not "utf8", but we follow the Perforce server's rules here.
